Summer is winding down

Well, summer is winding down and many things have happened over the summer that have given us pause to think about life and what it means. All of us in the family have asked ourselves many questions relating along the lines of "why?" and what it's boiled down to is "why not?". We've learned that we're not invincible. We're not shielded from life nor should we be anymore than the next person. And we've grown wiser. Quite a bit wiser it seems an some of us, much more wary. But it is a good life that God has bestowed on us. We have new additions. Our friends Lisa and Mike have wonderful twin boys who are growing and developing like weeds! Alex and Julie have added baby Jett to their family giving us another light in our life. One that we are continually thankful for. We are truly a blessed family!

Me and Gnat

Adam took this picture of my "big sister" and I the morning after I got home from the hospital in June. It was really nice to have her be able to be with me.
